Because you were still close to the city, you didn't choose to capture the demons directly, but instead secretly followed behind them.

[The Ice Demons belong to the noble class of the demon race, and they are always accompanied by a large number of servants. You sense that there are even several third-tier guards among this group.]

[But that's all. These guards are just ordinary demons, so it seems this young ice demon doesn't hold a very high position.]

[After all, the Ice Demon race is extremely rare among demon races, possessing fourth-tier strength upon adulthood. If they were valued, it's impossible for an underage Ice Demon to be without a fourth-tier powerhouse secretly protecting them.]

[The little ice demon before them only had a few third-tier guards. Although it looked impressive with hundreds of servants surrounding it, this was just an illusion.]

[A truly valued Ice Demon wouldn't have such a small guard force; that's why you've set your sights on this group.]

[You followed closely behind the little ice demon, carefully concealing yourself, and gradually moved away from the city.]

Finally, once you felt you were far enough away from the city, you immediately launched a decisive attack.

In an instant, a gigantic hand, capable of blotting out the sky, reached out to grab all the demons before it.

The little ice demon was terrified and shouted, "Livik, aren't you afraid of your father's punishment? How dare you attack him! Father will never let you get away with this!"

You think there must be a story behind this.

Unfortunately, you don't care.

With a whoosh, the giant hand grabbed all the demons in the arena and vanished abruptly. When it reappeared, it had been trapped within your palm using spatial manipulation.

[You fled instantly with all the demons in your hands. Although your attack was swift, it inevitably transmitted fluctuations of spatial laws, and you fear that the city may have corresponding remote monitoring methods.]

Being cautious is definitely the right thing to do.

Several hours after you left, a fourth-tier succubus quietly appeared here.

[Huh? The breath stopped here!]

The succubus had a voluptuous figure, alluring cheeks, and a tail with a heart-shaped paw pad swaying behind her.

But she looked somewhat melancholy at that moment.

[Damn it, Lord Levik sent me to assassinate this bastard, but I managed to lose him.]

The succubus, enraged, hurled a pink energy ball at the ground, sending up a cloud of dust.

Furthermore, the qualification for the Sacred Pool must not be lost!

The succubus paused for a moment, pondering, before flying off into the distance. She planned to ambush her prey; after all, that place was unavoidable.

You find a cave that looks relatively safe, sneak inside, and seal the entrance with stones to make the cave appear completely blend in with the outside world.

After completing your disguise, you casually tossed your hand, and the little ice demon appeared beside you, crashing to the ground with a thud.

As for his guards and men, you've already taken care of them.

You show no mercy to those who have no value whatsoever.

A dead demon is a good demon.

The little ice demon huddled to one side, trembling, the jagged bone spikes on its body quivering slightly.

[He showed none of the arrogance he displayed when he lectured the city gate guards before leaving the city.]

State your identity.

You grabbed the little ice demon by the neck, lifted him off the ground, and asked him about his identity.

[It's also lucky. You didn't expect that what you originally intended as just randomly grabbing a demon to ask for information would result in capturing a neglected ice demon.]

[You've decided to make good use of this ice demon's identity; you might even gain some unexpected benefits.]

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! My father is a Gulag member. If you kill me, you'll be hunted down to death!"

The little ice demon burst into tears and struggled violently.

【Um? 】

You let out a soft "Huh?", looking at the mere second-tier ice demon in your hand. This thing's actually trying to compete with you based on its parentage?

So his identity is quite extraordinary?

You shook your head, thinking it unlikely.

[If its identity is extraordinary, it wouldn't only possess this much protective power. You think this ice demon is dishonest and is still trying to deceive you.]

[You've sealed the little ice demon's mouth, deciding to teach him a lesson before interrogating him for information.]

【…】

[A few hours later, you put down the little ice demon that had been tortured to the point of near death, and obtained the information you wanted.]

This ice demon is named Kalon, and is a hybrid of ice demon and orc.

[His father is the commander of the city you saw earlier, a fifth-tier ice demon named Gulag. He also has an older brother named Livik, a fourth-tier pure-blooded ice demon.]

[Levik always felt that Kalon had tainted the bloodline of the Ice Demon race and wanted to eliminate him.]

[As a half-blood, Caron was not valued within the Ice Demon race, and many resources were not available to him, which resulted in him only reaching the peak of the second tier at nearly eight hundred years old.]

[A normal Ice Demon is born at Tier 1, reaches Tier 2 around age 10, and can grow to Tier 3 at age 200-300. At age 800, it should have reached the peak of Tier 3 and begun to comprehend the laws.]

[Around the age of one thousand, the Ice Demon will fully mature and become a fourth-tier being.]

This is also why the demon race is so powerful; the power of their bloodline allows them to grow quickly, but unfortunately, it's not so easy for them to become stronger later.

[Especially for the Ice Demon race, a noble demon clan with a prestigious bloodline, reproduction is extremely difficult, their numbers are scarce, and the vast majority of Ice Demons never break through the fourth tier ceiling in their entire lives.]

Therefore, resources and experience are equally important to the demon race; otherwise, they would have no chance of advancing to the fifth rank.

[Kalon's trip was an opportunity he had fought hard for; a sacred pool of the Ice Demon Clan had opened, and it was rumored that soaking in the pool could greatly enhance the body's potential.]

[From what Kalon said, even though he's just a half-blooded ice demon, if he can soak in the sacred pool, he still has the potential to advance to the fourth rank.]

However, in your view, this opportunity was a trap deliberately set for him by Caron's brother, Levik.

Otherwise, how could he possibly have gotten such a good opportunity!

But things are different now.

You looked at this weak, helpless, and pitiful little ice demon, a slight smile appearing on your lips.

Several days later, in a secluded mountain peak, a large rock shifted and was suddenly pushed aside, revealing an ice demon with prominent horns and an imposing appearance.

Looking at your appearance, simulated using the blue talent "Mimicry," you feel as if you've truly become an ice demon.

[These past few days, you've tortured Caron, thoroughly investigated his family's affairs, and diligently studied his lifestyle.]

[Luckily, this guy isn't taken seriously, otherwise you wouldn't dare to impersonate him.]

The Ice Demons are, after all, the nobility among demons, and their methods are unpredictable. You can't be too confident relying solely on a blue talent.

[But this blue talent, Mimicry and Camouflage, really surprised you. While it doesn't enhance your combat abilities, its camouflage capabilities are incredibly strong.]

Unless you take action, even you yourself won't be able to tell the difference between you and Caron.

Look into the distance; that's the direction of the Ice Demon Clan's sacred pool where Kalon gained the qualification to soak.
